I’ve been watching mobility scooter fails on YouTube. Wow the ridiculous stacks and ridiculous risks people take. Come on guys you can’t get around. I think the difference I found was that they were unintentional.

Don’t use an escalator

The first mobility scooter fail was an electric wheelchair not a scooter. What the hell was she thinking taking it up an escalator? The weight of them alone would be bad enough. It flipped backwards and not just once. I don’t know how she didn’t die or end up paralysed. I know of a person dying from being placed on an escalator by their carer. They took it to court and lost. Way to dangerous!

“Do not take wheelchairs, electric scooters, strollers, hand carts, luggage carts or similar items on the escalator” – Schindler

Who’s on your scooter

The second mobility scooter fail was a senior with their young grandchild sitting on their lap. They were having a lovely chat. Suddenly the scooter changes direction. It was disturbing but hilarious as the scooter veered down the embankment on the river with the little one screaming on the way.
